What do you do for a living?
I’m a freelance writer and editor, and co-founder/Editorial Director of The Grub Street Journal – the magazine for people who make magazines. I’m also doing a Masters in Journalism Innovation & Leadership – I want to expand my network and help drive positive change in the industry.
What does that mean day-to-day?
Day to day is quite varied for me. I might be researching media diversity initiatives for FIPP, writing a piece about human consciousness for Mensa, helping Media Voices plan an awards ceremony, interviewing an expert for a podcast, or flatplanning the latest issue of Grub St. That’s how I like it!
What do you love about magazines?
I love how they’re a perfect package of well-curated things. And the communities that build around them.
Tell us one thing not many people know about you?
When I worked in a London bookshop, Goldie Hawn recommended a book to me: The Master and Margarita.
